I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

I was the foreman on a local grand jury. We indicted every single case brought before us. However, on a case where we no-billed one of the charges, the prosecutor came to me after we voted and asked me why we no-billed and if we had additional questions they could answer to flip our vote.
They have to accept the document as a whole. My guess is they no billed the one they were considering, then the foreman told Lindsey the insurance lawyer they had voted for two of the three charges, and then Lindsey drafted the second one and had the foreman sign it.

This interview w/ Ring's pro-police surveillance CEO is deceptive in a number of ways.

He seems to suggest police can *only* get footage if you agree to share it, but makes no mention of what happens if police present a warrant straight to Ring.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.
